“Make an accident of it… you know.”
Grantham nodded. “I’ll get it done,” he said, and went away.
Raven sat brooding. There was something he couldn’t understand about Sadie. First Carrie and now Grantham. They both showed uneasiness when they were in his presence and Sadie’s. He went into the other room.
Sadie was kneeling amid the tracks and the big outfit. She looked up quickly.
“Old pal of yours, huh?” Raven said.
She looked at him searchingly and then went on adjusting the line.
Raven felt a sudden vicious spurt of rage run through him as he stood behind her. He knelt down at her side and pushed her over. She fell off balance across the tracks and her shoulders flattened a miniature station.
She gave a little cry as the tin of the station dug into her flesh.
Grinning at her, Raven pushed her flat and then, amid the railway, flattened by their bodies, he had her.
